<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="185525819-10102011"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">It's been several years ago, but I purchased a DecTalk USB
from Access Solutions using a credit card over the phone. I had no
problems with this purchase. Several dayslater, I think less than a week,
after making the call, the unit arrived via UPS.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="185525819-10102011"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">As for the unit itself, don't buy it expecting for it to
sound like either the DecTalk PC or Express. It does not! As a
matter of fact, I don't think it sounds anywhere close to as good as those older
synths--but that's just my personal opinion. Not surprising, really since
I've been using DecTalk PCs and Expresses since the early '90s and am very used
to them.</font></span></div>

<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">Hi
all,</font></span></div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">This email is
intended primarily for list members who have purchased a Dectalk USB. I recently
decided that I want to buy one. My first thought was access Solutions, the
manufacturer. I was told that Access Solutions accepts credit card
orders by phone, not the Internet. I initially agreed to this. However, prior to
making a purchase, I realized giving my credit card info via phone to a company
with whom I have not done business with previously is a very bad
idea.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">A few
questions:</font></span></div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">1. What vendor did
you purchase Dectalk USB from?</font></span></div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">2. What is your
opinion of the vendor in terms of trustworthiness?</font></span></div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">3. Were you
satisfied with the product you received?</font></span></div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="413244617-10102011"><font face="Arial" size="2">Feedback from
Dectalk USB purchasers regarding my questions would be appreciated as it
might help me make a Dectalk USB purchase decision.</font></span></div>
